VXV is pleased to present their special design award to highlight the inaugural Franz Grabner Award ceremony which took place today at the Diagonale Film Festival in Graz, Austria. The award was established to commemorate his career collaboration with and supporting the documentary film industry. Franz was a not only a close friend but a special collaborator with VXV on projects, such as, die Box, kreuz und quer, K4 – Künstlerhaus, etc. spanning over 20 years. We greatly appreciate the efforts made by the Diagonale, AAFP, Film Austria and ORF for providing the foundation for this initiative. Philip Veech created the visual communication design package, event poster, and 3d award design.
